3 Installing gnats

There are several steps you need to follow to fully configure and
install gnats on your system. You need root access in order
to create a new account for gnats and to install the gnats
utilities. You may need root access on some systems in order to
set up mail aliases and to allow this new account access to
cron and at.

gnats installation relies on two other freely available software
packages, which should be installed before you go on to configure and
build gnats. These are gnumake and Texinfo
(version 4.2 or higher). Both are available from the gnu FTP site at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org.

If there are people outside your organization who will be submitting
PRs or who are supposed to be able to query and/or edit PRs, you may
need to instruct them to obtain and build the gnats tools
query-pr, edit-pr and send-pr for their systems.
However, for many sites, setting up a remote access interface to
gnats, such as Gnatsweb is a better solution since this requires
no configuration on the remote side.
